convert s5 door to s4???

hey fellas is there a way to switch out a s4 door with a s5..? i got into a accident a while back and just the door was really damaged. so i bought another door but it was a s5. i then noticed that the connections for the electrical are different. the s5 has two seperate connection but the s4 only has one. so basically can i somehow switch the harness without splicing or mickymousing it...? thanks

Just pull the harness out of the S4 door and swap out for the one in the S5.. Aside from the door speaker mounts, the doors themselves are interchangable S5 to S4. S4 to S5 not so much because of how the S5 door molding mounts.

I had a similar thing happen to my S4 TurboVert last year and I ended up using an S5 door.

Very simple. Just be carefule removing the plastic fasteners as they're old and break easy.

I have a S4 vert with 6" speakers around the armrest in the door. can I swap these for the S5 vert door panels? To get the speaker further down?

These look so much more sleek than the S4 ones.

And yeah, while Im at it, the S5 center console, does this fit the S4? The one with the vents, logicon and CD-player. It is much sleeker in the S4, and easier to mount gauges in.
